Clavaria ophioglossoides. Hist. 111. f. 2.
Black Clavaria.

This clavaria I gathered in a bank
near Soyland Mills Four Miles from Halifax
in the Spring of the year 1779.

It is hollow in the clubbed part, but
the Lower part or handle is solid and
tinged with a brown colour upon the black.

It resembles at first sight the
Clavaria hypoxilon [hypoxylon], but is distinguished
from it in that it is always single,
and of a regular club shape; and with the
greatest certainty, in that it is of a
tender friable fat substance, whereas
the hypoxilon [hypoxylon] is tough hard & woody.
